Plan notes
Useful context before you go
Plan this as a day trip from Busan: the creator spent about four to five hours exploring Wiyangji and the surrounding village. Rural transport is infrequent, and the village bus information may be difficult to read without Korean, so allow time to check the schedule and use a translation tool. The creator encountered significant heat and humidity and ran out of water; bring enough water for the village walk. The video describes the outbound train as an ITX service, departing Busan at 12:04 and reaching Miryang at about 12:43; confirm current train and bus schedules before setting out.
Itinerary highlights
What is in this plan
Day 1 — Busan to Wiyangji Pond and Village
Take the train from Busan to Miryang, then continue to Wiyangji by taxi; the creator chose a taxi rather than waiting for an infrequent bus. Set aside around four to five hours for the pond and village. For the return, the creator found a village bus at 4:30 PM and said missing it could mean a wait until 6:30 PM; verify the current timetable locally. The video reports a taxi fare of about 14,000–15,210 KRW from Miryang and a village-to-Miryang bus fare of about 1,400 KRW. Costs below are estima…

Busan StationBusan Station, Busan, South Korea
Begin at Busan Station and take the intercity train toward Miryang. The creator describes an ITX departure at 12:04, with arrival at Miryang at about 12:43; check the live schedule and platform display, since the platform may appear on the station screens rather than the ticket.

Miryang StationMiryang Station, Miryang, South Korea
At Miryang Station, the creator found taxis outside and took one to Wiyangji rather than waiting for the bus. The reported fare was roughly 14,000–15,210 KRW. The creator also noted that translation help can be useful in smaller towns where signs and schedules are in Korean.

Wiyangji PondWiyangji Pond, Miryang, South Korea
Walk the pond’s perimeter and take time at the views across its water, small islands, and surrounding mountains. The creator describes the pond as a peaceful, uncrowded stop and says the village visit lasted several hours. Bring water for the walk, especially in hot, humid weather.

Wiyangji PondWiyangji Pond, Miryang, South Korea
Look for Wiyangjeong, the pavilion on the pond, rather than mistaking it for a temple. The creator identifies it as a pavilion and connects the pond’s origins to agricultural works during the Silla period. The pond and pavilion are especially rewarding to view together from the shoreline.
